Husky growth

20 9:10:32

Question
I have a 15 month old husky male.  he has been eating a lot more lately is this a sign of a growth spurt or does he just like his new food more?

Answer
Could be either - is he gaining much weight?  If not, it may also be signs of parasitic infection, digestive problems, or increased caloric needs (often for activity level increase or, I've noticed my dogs begin to eat more as it gets colder, although they don't pack on any real weight).  Keep an eye on his weight, stool, and activity level and you should be good.
